✔️After the heli ride, time to explore on foot!
✔️To get views of the Nā Pali Coast on foot 2 main options:
- The popular Kalalau Trail - 11 miles trail (one way) for advanced hikers - classified as one of the best hike on the planet (Unfortunately closed at the moment due to flood damage).
- The Waimea Canyon trails that leads to beautiful vistas of the coast (Wet weather often closes some of them)
✔️We went 2) and drove to Waimea Canyon and hiked the 6-miles round trip of the Awa'awapuhi trail.
✔️On the way in you'll walk down-hill through mostly shading forest and vegetation and on the way back it is obviously up-hill but manageable there are no steep inclines.
✔️After a nice cool walk the views are absolutely rewarding on the left Nu'alolo Valley and on the right (where Guilly is looking) Awa'awapuhi Valley!
✔️The views of the valleys are stunning and can be quite scary as they are very sheer cliffs! Be careful!
✔️The hike takes about 4-5h return and we recommend using sticks as the first section can be very muddy and slippery and rain is pretty frequent!

✔️Après le tour en hélico, en route pour quelques randos!
✔️Il y a 2 façons principale de découvrir la côte de Nā Pali en rando:
- Le fameux Kalalau Trail le long de la côte, 11 miles aller, où il faut être en bonne forme physique!
- Les chemins de randos dans le Canyon du Waimea qui donnent des vues imprenable sur la Nā Pali.
✔️Nous avons choisi l'option 1 et avons empreinté le Awa'awapuhi trail.
✔️Le sentier est en descente à l'aller et biensûr en montée au retour! Pour la plupart du temps ombragé donc agréable.
✔️Au bout du chemin vues fantastiques sur la vallée de Nu'alolo sur la gauche et la vallée de Awa'awapuhi sur la droite (voir photo)
✔️La rando prend environ 4h à 5h et nous conseillons de prendre des bâtons de rando car c'est assez boueux au début dans la forêt!
